1895–1945
An early 20th-century American pulp writer, he is best remembered for stories and novels written with his brother Patrick Casey. Their fiction ranged from adventure and historical tales to speculative work, sometimes published under the shared pseudonym Lee Tempest.

by Patrick Casey, Terence Casey
Born in San Francisco and active in the American pulp-magazine world, Terence Casey worked closely with his brother Patrick Casey. Reference sources describe him as Edward Terence Casey, born on September 29, 1894, and dying on July 30, 1945, in California.
The Casey brothers wrote across several popular genres of their day. They are credited with works including The Wolf-Cub: A Novel of Spain and Hobo Stories, and science-fiction reference sources note that they also produced speculative fiction together, including The Strange Story of William Hyde. Some of their nonfantastic adventure fiction appeared under the joint pen name Lee Tempest.
Little biographical detail seems to survive beyond his publications, but that scarcity is part of what makes Casey interesting now: he belongs to the vast, half-forgotten world of magazine writers who helped shape popular fiction between the 1910s and 1930s.
